Any thoughts? Sound, reliability, ease of service, fair price?

    Great amps, cheap as too. Does sparkly clean and mega high gain. I toured for two years with one, no issues! 

    £150-£200 is fair

    I do have my earlier 50w version up for sale for £150. More compact and slightly better sounding!

    They seem pretty solid - I don't remember ever having seen a dead one. That said, they were apparently not popular so it's possible just not many were sold. I'm not sure why, I played through a borrowed one at a gig once and it sounded perfectly good.

    The last two on Ebay seem to have not sold at £180 and £215, so less than that! Which is a lot of amp for the money if you want to buy one...

    I think the early Funeral for a Friend stuff is recorded on Crate Blue Voodoos...... But I might be wrong.

    Ha! They went on to be early Blackstar users. ICBM will make MUCH of that I bet!

    They went on to have blackstars facing up on stage, but behind them, a dual rec and a blue voodoo 300 we’re delivering the actual guitar sounds!

    600W, with two 16x12" cabs...

    For my Disaster Area tribute band, obviously!

    Oh! That is bloody hilarious! My number cruncher gives me ~130dB SPL so that thing is REALLY dangerous.
